1,1,8 by far. You can support way more mechs which means you can farm more and gain more resources (and have a larger attack force). And your really lucky to have a 1,1,8 2 units away from you! Take it before they decide to change the 1,1,8 balance again!!

And... I'd ask Stick or Dragonhill what is needed most, but I personally went for armor, particularly multilayer armor. But we might be needing some thor or plasma missles soon so you could probably do either.

I got railgun 2, transports,armor from frik dragon and stick.

I'd say take the 1, 1, 8 just like I did this week.

What should i build first at my 2nd 118 city

Whatever you want, everything is being built somewhere, so now its just redundancies.

I'd recommend the 118 too. How I would try to develop it would be like this:

First, raise up the storage capacity for crystal, gas and cells. Next, build up your Power Plants until you can support a mech there. Then move a mech in, and start raiding as soon as possible.

The storage capacity allows you to transfer in resources much quicker, and once your mech starts coming back with raids it will give you plenty of space to store all the resources.

As for technology development, well there are lots of options available. How I did mine was like this:

City 1 (334) Mechs, energy shields, basic weapons and armour
City 2 (118) Advanced ballistic weapons
City 3 (118) Advanced shields, transport platforms
City 4 (118) Missiles and satellites
City 5 (118) Advanced energy weapons
City 6 (118) to be decided

Also Super Queue is helpful when starting up your new cities.
